Minorities At Risk For Drowning
Obama Honors Fallen Troops
From the Associated Press:
Marking Osama bin Laden's death where the terrorist inflicted his greatest damage, President Barack Obama soberly laid a wreath Thursday at New York's ground zero and declared, "When we say we will never forget, we mean what we say."
The president closed his eyes and clasped his hands at the outdoor memorial where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once dominated the Manhattan skyline. He shook hands with 9/11 family members and others dressed in black at the site where the skyscrapers were brought down by planes commandeered by bin Laden's followers. Nearly 3,000 people were killed.
Earlier, the president visited the firefighters and police officers whose response to the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, turned them into heroes and symbols of national resolve, but also cost them heavy casualties on that horrific day.Read more of the story here.

Why are people in America who profess love and have so much hate! I would have added "christian", but so many claim to have Christ, but portray the wolf in sheep's clothing. Jesus is so soon to take his flock out, don't let it be said too late.

This week has been great for america due to the
fact that our president put an end to the
mystery of Osama's whereabouts as well as restore
some americans faith. By the president coming to
ground zero to lay the wreath were thousand
americans lost their lives during 9/11 was a
special tribute to NYPD, NY fire fighters, New
Yorkers, family members & govt officials who all
witness a tragic moment in history.
This is a bitter sweet ending for so many
americans who probably had doubt if our govt
would ever catch OBL. Justice has been serve for
the surviving family members, in NY, DC & PA who
lost their love ones during 9/11. President Obama
kept his promise to catch the most ruthless
terrorist in history. Although OBL is dead the
war on terror still remains & our govt as well as
our allies govt can't rest or under estimate the
enemy.
Those govt that are allies with the USA govt must
work together with each intel agency to prevent
another tragedy like 9/11. Even the Pakistan govt
(whose crooked) must come to terms & build a
better relationship with our govt to prevent the
whereabouts of other terrorists hiding in their
backyard. We can't beat terrorism without the
corporation of each country govt communicating &
investigating those who's in cahoots with the
enemy.
